New York, Ramadan 10, 1437, Jun 15, 2016, SPA -- Ethiopia and Eritrea must exercise restraint and diffuse tensions, the United Nations warned Wednesday after fighting erupted on the disputed border between the two nations. According to dpa, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon met with Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn in Brussels, while UN Deputy Secretary General Jan Eliasson called the Eritrean foreign minister to express concern and call for a peaceful resolution, said Stephane Dujarric, Ban's spokesman. "They urged both governments to exercise maximum restraint and refrain from any act or statement that could exacerbate the situation," Dujarric said. --SPA 20:36 LOCAL TIME 17:36 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
